It's never going to be perfect

Hi, Hello, Hey!

I have spent nearly two years trying to set up this blog and make it "perfect"

It is never going to be perfect. My writing style isn't perfect, my photography isn't perfect. 

This isn't going to be a structured blog, or one that slots neatly in to a specific category. I just wanted a little slice of the internet where I could word vomit all my thoughts and feelings. The good, the bad, and the incredibly ridiculous. That doesn't require a fancy layout and snazzy graphics.

I have been present in the blogging community for around 10 years now. Throughout I have had several blogs with various themes from makeup to dating. I tried to create a unique persona for myself to make sure I stood out and had something different to offer. For some reason or another each blog ended up being relegated to the blogosphere graveyard and I was left thinking up my next character. It has been a good few years since I last blogged seriously and although I have thought about starting out again many times, I never quite found the right "fit" when it came to which box I wanted to put myself in.

It occurred to me recently that I don't need to put myself in to a category, I don't need to play a part, I just need to write what I am thinking, how I am feeling, and hope someone relates to that in some way. I am not a makeup artist, a dating connoisseur or any kind of lifestyle guru. I'm Actually just Maxi.

I love superficial things like makeup, glitter and disney socks but I am also battling through a minefield of chronic illness and new mental health diagnosis. Although I am not currently dating, my previous dating stories have had people desperate for more so I may drag up some old dating stories or just save that little corner of the internet for when I dip my toes back in to the dating pool.

So come on in, and join me on my journey of discovering who "Maxi" actually is.
